A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

i hate how we're supposed to act like we're the Most Perfect fit for the role, and So Eager! -- the most ideal human to ever walk the earth, specifically for this role.

and you get the job and go there and the coworkers aren't fucking god and apollo, it's joey and mark

1000 times this. it feels as if I am auditioning to an acting role and not a job interview. I have watched some videos on YouTube on how to ace a job interview in my field, I couldn't finish a video without feeling my stomach churn. and it is through and through about what you can bring to their company, and very rarely about what they can bring to you.

Even prostitution feels less dehumanizing than a regular job.
